PDPL · Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021

A PDPL-compliant website for your UAE business.

A professional web presence with UAE data-protection built into the build — not bolted on with a banner afterwards. Documented, defensible, and yours.

Why it matters

A credible presence and PDPL compliance. Most sites deliver one, not both.

01

A templated site erodes trust with the exact clients you want to win. Credibility is a business asset.

02

The UAE PDPL governs how you collect and handle personal data — contact forms, analytics and cookies included.

03

Retrofitting compliance after launch is slow and costly. Built in from the start, it is simply how the site works.

What we build

Websites where data protection is part of the build.

Every form, tracker and integration is designed against the PDPL and documented, so an audit or a data-subject request is answerable from day one.

PDPL-aligned by design

Consent, data handling and retention built to the law.

Editorial, bespoke design

Typographic and precise — never a template.

Consent & cookie governance

Transparent capture, logged and revocable.

Documented data map

Every field, tracker and integration traced.

A defined path to access, correct or erase personal data.

03

The legal grounding

What UAE PDPL requires — and what non-compliance costs.

The UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) has been in force since 2 January 2022, with the UAE Data Office as the supervisory authority. Its Executive Regulations — which will set several operational specifics — have not yet been issued as of 2026, and a six-month compliance window applies once they publish. We build to the law as it stands, so that grounding is a feature of your site rather than a liability.

FAQ

Common questions

Does my UAE website need to comply with the PDPL?

If your site collects any personal data — a contact form, analytics, cookies — the UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) applies. In practice that covers almost every business website.

What makes a website 'privacy-compliant by design'?

Consent, data handling and retention are built into how the site works from the first line — not bolted on with a banner later. Every form field, tracker and third-party embed is a deliberate, documented decision.

How long does a compliant website take to build?

Most projects ship in a few weeks, depending on scope. Because compliance is part of the build rather than a retrofit, it doesn't add a separate phase at the end.

Where is our data stored?

In your own region and tenancy wherever possible. We work inside your infrastructure and document where each category of personal data lives, so a transfer or an audit is answerable.

Can you also run the operations behind the site?

Yes — that's our DealOps offering: the deal, customer and back-office processes behind your site, built on Zoho and n8n.
